I'm so stinkin thrilled to have my band during the holidays. My weight is good and my f ood is controlled and I'm not starving. I'm not tempted to overindulge. People who never knew me fat are giving me c ookies and sweets as gifts at work. I smile, say thank you, and take them home to my kids. Life. Is. Good.

Welcome to the newcomers. 2-1/2 years out for me, and last adjusted over a year ago. 127 pounds lost with about 25 to go. I get stuck once every couple of weeks if I wolf my f ood. Other than that I'm pretty much feeling like a normie these days.

I do attend OA regularly and keep in touch with other recovering f ood addicts.

Well. One holiday gone (and all the sweets gone to other homes). Another new year coming.

I'll be home celebrating the NY midnight at 9 here.

I'm still thankful for my band teaching me.... it seems like it eventually falls to us personally to maintain good habits... please don't mistake me for someone who doesn't make errors. I just try to correct them earlier..

I'm at 1.5 out of a 4 cc band and maintaining my weight loss for 10 years

Not at dr goal. But at my spot where my body seems to always come to..

I'm healthy and mostly happy..another year comes and goes....

Love your positive messages. Thank you. I had my second fill on Tuesday and I'm at 5.5 cc. In a 10 cc band. I do feel a sense of tightness or pain if I eat meat or bread today. I had half a piece of toast and that hurt. This afternoon I had a piece of boneless and skinless chicken and that hurt. I felt I chewed really well, but still had pain. Tonight I ate Soup. Any tips for eating without pain?

Hi there, just catching up -- Just Watch Me you are doing beautifully. Think of all you have accomplished in this last year and how your life has turned around. You made that happen, launching your beautiful daughters, Italy, choosing WLS, all the exercising....amazing to consider in such a short timeframe. This divorce on the other hand is such a long and exhausting process but it is happening. You are stalwart and mighty. Try to stay in the moment and don't let him get to you.

Don't let anyone steal your essence.

HI there it's been a LONG while since i posted on here. I've been pretty much maintaining a 80lbs lose never really made it to goal but enjoying a much healthier me... today i found out that TrueResults where i had my surgery done in 2013 closed. i'm at a lose i don't even know how to begin to find some where else for after care. i don't even know where to start. i had fallen behind in after care and had made the decision just before Christmas to get back on track and see if i can get rid of the last 30 or so lbs i need to lose. and now this. i feel like this is going to be the biggest set back since i started this journey. will have to call tomorrow to see if they will give me my medical records as i have no idea who or where they could send them. i can only hope they will provide suggestions on after care..

So nice to see you posting. I know that I miss seeing my old pals. I hope you can pick up with another center that will continue your aftercare. Keep us posted.

I would call the surgery department associated with each hospital in your area and ask if they do WLS and get the names of doctors. Also check with your insurance plan and see if they list surgeons as in network and call those offices. Good luck!

Sorry to see babbs go. Another one This one was asked to leave by Alex. Along with LLady, dub and littlebill I believe

[gowalking 10,790]

All I can say is that I know Alex and I am convinced he did what he had to do. Babbs and Lipstick lady were very harsh at times and I stayed away from their online 'tussles'. He referenced PMs that were very disturbing and I am sure he was not exaggerating. I didn't know that littlebill or dub were tossed as well. I never saw anything on their posts that alluded to a problem but again...I'm sure Alex did not do this for the hell of it.

[Julie norton 2,850]

I agree Liz... I do have enough going in in my world that I don't particularly care for sniping and sexual innuendos..I think admin did us a service. Just liked to laugh out loud at babbs!!

I am checking in to see how everyone is doing. I have been mia for awhile. looks like I"ve missed some drama though. so my life has been going better after all the terrible things that happened last year it looks like this year might be better. I met someone right before my birthday Dec 8th. we had known each other through our mutual poker club . He thought I was married and I thought he was in a relationship. We ran into each other at a club when My best friend and I were out celebrating my birthday. He is such a great guy and we just clicked. he says he thinks I am beautiful which is so amazing anyway so far so good we are still together and having a great time. I am still at my goal weight, feel great and am going to my surgeon Feb 5th to talk about skin surgery. I need to get rid of my apron. boyfriend says doesn't matter to him but it does to me.He says he will take care of me when I have surgery.. amazing that there are still wonderful men out there especially my age. I hope you all are doing well and I will check in from time to time... still love my band have had no issues and feel so lucky to have had it.
